William Thomas Spear, Republican
nominee for supreme judge, was born in
Warren, o., June 8, 1888. He learned
the printers trade, and worked for sew
eral years at it. After several years Of
hard work at this trade young Spear read
law under Hon. Jacob D. Cox
Admitted to the bar in 1859, he was
soon taken into the firm of Cox & Rathff,
where he continued until the vicissitudes
of the war interrupted this relation, both
of those gentlemen having entered the
army, and being absent with their re-
spective commands in the field
From 1864 to 1867 Attorney Spear lived
in Louisiana, spending most of his time
in New Orleans, engaged in the practice
of his profession and other business
Returning to Warren IL 1857, he
was for time associated in a law
partnership with Hon. John Hutch
ins and his son, John c. Hutchins.
In 1871 Mr.. Spear was elected prosecut-
ing attorney, serving two terms, and for
two terms he was the city's solicitor. In
1876 he became associated in a law part
nership with C. A. Harrington, Esq,
which was terminated by the election Of
Mr.. Spear to the common pleas bench. In
1858 there was vacancy on the common
pleas bench, and Portage and Mshoning
each had candidates. The friends of Mr..
Spear, however, urged his fitness so
strongly that although Trumbun county
then had Judge Taylor in judicial Office,
Spear was elected to the judgship, and
in 1883 he was reelected. He has been
on the supreme bench since 1885.
Of Judge Spears many admirable quail
titles the one which has most contributed
to his advancement is painstaking. Nc
honorable thing which has come in his
way to be done has been too insignificant
to be done well. In his own affairs and
in those Of others every detail has been
watched, and every harmful contingent
thought out and guarded against, and the
most laborious part of this painstaking
has been that which he has given TO his
judicial work.

Let the teacher relate the conversation that
followed, the scribes only thinking their part,
but Jesus, who knows the things that come
into our minds, answered audibly.
1t took four to bring this man to Jesus, and
they persevered until every obstacle was over
come and Jesus was found.
Finish the story, but lay most stress on the
forgiveness of sin. This was greater bless
ing than restored health. No health, no
riches. nor knowledge, nor any earthly good
can be compared with the blessing of sins for
given. Every one needs this, and Jesus
promises it to young and old who repent OF
sin and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

WE notice that several Democratic
papers purport to publish Governor For
sker's message to the Ohio legislature OF
April 8, 1887. The fact is that Governor
Foraker delivered no message, special or
otherwise, to the Ohio legislature on
April 6, 1887, and Democratic papers
which published such have either been
imposed upon by the forgeries sent out
by their state committee or are willful
Ieeomplices to such forgery.

Of the Judges Of the Court Of Appeals IN favor Of

confirmation and said yesterday that he did not think

judgment and sentence In the sharp would DO
affirmed.
The rccevn. Of the testimony taken before the Sem
ate Committee was mentioned as the point on which
the Judges had decided to order a trial Opinions
differed as the result Of adverse decision by the
court. Many lawyers thought that conviction would
be had on a trial without that evidence. but Other
opinions were that a conviction was doubtful unless
Sharp's statements could be- used against HIM II
tho conviction were OyeUhrOwn on some general
g.Ounds. a new trial would be practically hopeless
for the prosecution.
The rcasscmbliug Of the Court Of Appeals tomorrow
and the expected decision on Tuesday were eagerly
awaited at the D>trict-AttOrncys ohicc, As well "a
by sharp and his lawyers.
